Always leave your car in gear when parked on a hill. The discs shrink slightly as they cool which means that even though when first parked the pads are gripping, they lose grip over time. This happens to all cars with disc breaks all round. My Accord liked to roll of the drive if not parked in gear as my drive slopes.
A leaking back window is not something I have come across on this forum before, but I am sure that someone will tell me I am wrong. Not heard of any clutch problems either, that could be down to bad driving as much as the car.
The car is great and although there are a few niggling faults, most of which are well documented on this site, the vast majority of people on here love their Civics and wouldn't swap for anything else.
You will be most impressed by the torque and low down grunt of the diesel, once run in it just pulls increadibly smoothly throughout the rev range.
